..I do understand why some people are not on board with Michael...he was of his time as well...an incredible child music artist and then incredible as an adult artist, but yeah...still of his time and his dancing performances, his on stage presence..?...well other artists have given similar since is the thing...but not at that time, though..but then every artist is of their time, which is why he’ll always have iconic status in the music world ...because of his inspiration to others who came after...

..Sam hasn’t reached that yet...only time will tell whether he will inspire or does inspire other artists because he’s kind of middle of the road as well..not amazing, not awful...which isn’t a good start in his own time so not that hopeful...but yeah, he doesn’t like him as an artist, that’s fine...so long as he acknowledges Michael’s much deserved place...etc...

I like some of Michael's songs but wouldn't say I was a fan at all, he doesn't have to like MJ.

Invincibles a very underrated album tbh, way ahead of its time. Could have been made today

I lowkey agree with Sam (for once)

Well I love Michael Jackson,saw him in concert when I was a teen,he was amazing, love his music too especially man in the Mirror,Earth Song and Dirty Diana,but love ost of them.I have also seen Sam Smith, he was ok but really no comparison to MJ.

Elvis Presley is better than both.

Not gonna comment on mj speculation

But in his music its absolutely amazing. I can't even listen to Sam Smith songs I hate them

Who honestly cares what Sam Smith thinks anyway he hasn't released a single memorable song and his personality is repugnant. Looks a mess too twerking on insta in clothes that dont look good on him. Wish him and his mediocre music would just **** off

I must've been drunk when I wrote that. Dangerous and Bad are top quality albums, and even though Invincible is my least favourite, it still a very good record.

He was such a great artist.

Someone had to say it. Dunno why it was him cos he’s no better but mj is probably the most overrated person maybe ever, ever.

Like he’s ok-good. But gets spoken about like he’s top 3 at worst. He really isn’t.

I'm no fan of Sam Smith, but I support his right to not be dictated to on which singers he likes and dislikes.

I'm actually fortunate to like quite a few of MJ's songs, but there are quite a few popular singers that I don't like that much and I would find it incredibly rude if people started insulting me and dictating to me to change my opinion, if anything it'd make me stick to that opinion even moreso and I hope that Sam Smith does the same here and doesn't back down to popular demand.

Dirty Diana and Earth Song beg to differ.:nono::joker:

:skull:

Someone has a different taste in music to someone else....But still gives the song playing praise.

Just shows how scarily obsessed MJ fans can be. They totally ignored he complimented the song and now think he's the devil for not being on the MJ train in the 80's/90's.

Sam Smith is a cock in his own right but has his right to an opinion lol.

Fans are ****ing crazy.

Agreed, MJ stans are the bottom of the barrel

I never even heard of them till I heard them from you :shrug:

I've listened to all of MJ's solo albums including his two posthumous ones and I happen to really like pretty much all of his songs recorded (with maybe just a few exceptions in his later years tbh) although some are ofc better than others and I wouldn't expect everyone to agree with me on that one but come on now..

Considering how versatile his music is (idk wtf Nicky is on :joker::joker:) I find it difficult to comprehend how someone can like NONE of his music, regardless of taste. If you don't you probably have really **** music taste tbh

least sam smith likes some of his songs. Although considering his musical style I'm suprised he's not a fan.

People like different things than other people? :shocked:

MJ has a few great songs but let’s not pretend the sun shines out of his arse lmao

He's dead hun so there ain't much shining out of his arse. Silly.

Tell that to the MJ stans!
